Why this strategy?

Once again, based on the criteria used by Arbitrum. To reward real users, there's a good chance that your number of dAPPs, the smart contract used, will count towards the airdrop. Image

So I've created this route to interact with 50 different Smarts Contracts simply & cost-effectively

I've made all these interactions with gas fees between 20 & 30 gwei and I've given you the price of each action

Good morning, welcome to Daily Thread number 465 covering #Ukraine's heroic defence against #Russia's illegal aggression.

I've been here from (before) the start of war, reporting on (sometimes from) a country I've loved, worked + lectured in many, many times.
Overnight was quiet
Before we get stuck in to today's news, a gentle reminder these threads are basically an unpaid full time job - actually more than that as you get days off with a job! Coffee donations welcome (link in Bio)

To catch up on Friday's news, click here
A few drones buzzed #Ukraine yesterday evening but air raids did not last long and no damage was reported.

The drone/cruise missile numbers on #Russia's daily losses are high as they include Friday morning's attacks.
Artillery, special equipment & fuel tanks way above average Image

La “manovra stipendi” della #Juventus: storia di un gigantesco illecito. Doppio. Partecipato da tutti, l’intero Cda e 40 tesserati. Il club di #Agnelli vara la prima manovra nella primavera del 2020, in pieno Covid, e la ripete senza esitare nella primavera del 2021 (1. segue)
Tutto inizia il 22.2.20 con una mail inviata da #Agnelli ai suoi fidati collaboratori: #Paratici, #Nedved, #Cherubini, #Bertola. Agnelli dice che la perdita prevista al 30 giugno 2020 è di 177 milioni. “Il nostro obiettivo dev’essere contenere le perdite a -50 milioni” (2. segue)
L’idea iniziale di #Paratici è drastica: “Io dico che dobbiamo togliergli 3 mesi di contratto aprile, maggio e giugno”, scrive a #Cherubini. In realtà i primi colloqui con #Chiellini, capitano, non sono fruttuosi. I calciatori non ci stanno, serve una soluzione diversa (3, segue)

I’m at #Manchester Crown Court for the continuing trial of the nurse Lucy #Letby. She denies murdering 7 babies at the Countess of #Chester Hospital in 2015/16. She also denies the attempted murder of 10 other babies. Updates here, @BBCNWT and BBC on line.
Consultant paediatrician Dr Elizabeth Newby is describing how she treated an alleged victim, Child D. She says D as born in good condition but needed help with breathing shortly afterwards. By the evening she needed to have a tube in her windpipe to help….
…but by the next morning D was well enough for the breathing tube to be removed. D was able to breathe on her own in air. Dr Newby “felt it was likely that there was an element of infection” as D’s mothers waters broke early and there was a delay in her having a C section birth

Viene definito dalla stampa il "normalizzatore".
Il popolo rossonero non lo accoglie bene,c'è molta diffidenza per via di una carriera ancora priva di successi.
Ma a lui non interessa,nella conferenza stampa di presentazione parla di "idee,intensità,spregiudicatezza".
Debutterà solo 11 giorni dopo contro il #Lecce e parla di tutto.
Sopratutto cerca di impostare #Leao prima punta.
La sua prima formazione è:
#Donnarumma
#Conti #Musacchio #Romagnoli #Theo
#Kessie #Biglia #Paqueta
#Suso #Leao #Calhanoglu
Finira' 2-2 a San siro,nulla di che.

„Wir dürfen nicht zulassen, dass #China​s KP die Unterdrückung der freien Meinungsäußerung auch in Großbritannien einführt,“ sagte die Vorsitzende des Auswärtigen Ausschusses im Unterhaus @aliciakearns. @CProessl
